Great outing, comfortable boat, caring crew, good meal... Pleasant sailing and beautiful little cove. Opportunity to go see a small church and enjoy a superb panorama Loan of masks, flippers and snorkels. Be careful though, you have to swim a hundred meters to reach the beach. It is necessary to provide a vest, a mud or armbands for the children (we have 4 year old twins). The price is a little high for young children (the same as for adults).

A superb experience, the crew is brilliant, swimming allows you to cool off even in very hot weather! I recommend for people with a minimum of sport because to fully enjoy the experience you have to know how to sit on the edges of the sailboat and swim in fairly deep waters. The meal is super good and being able to have unlimited drinks is great!

We had a very wonderful sailing trip with Irina and Vasil. We were warmly welcomed on board and they took very good care of us at all times. The sailing trip itself was also very nice. We had enough time at the Island Dia to go ashore and snorkel and swim in the bay. The food and fresh fruit were also very tasty. An absolute recommendation! We would do the sailing trip again. Thank you!
